I should probably go to bed at this point. I typed up a short story of my arduous attempts at defending an outpost in the STALKER modpack GAMMA and how my game crashed when I turned in the quest. Sent off that post and woe-is-me, the entire text didn't get submitted and I didn't have it saved in copy-paste. It's just so ironically fitting.

So ya, what's something you'd like to ramble a bit about?

I'm feeling frustrated by games that don't respect my time. Don't play the same 30s animation every time I perform a minor action that I'm required to perform 10s or 100s of times, often in quick succession. At least have a skip button at a minimum!

Also, give me all of the information I need to make informed decisions, and make them intuitive!

The mandatory “immersive” animations are such a pain. Sure it might unrealistic that clicking a button teleports all the equipment from a dead guy into my inventory, but I am far more reminded I’m playing a video game if I’m forced to sit through a canned animation of digging through a dead guy’s pockets every single time I loot.
